Tyrell Shavers reminds me of John Stallworth....

Honestly I am starting to think that Shavers is what they thought Coleman would be but isn't.

I don't. I think the Bills always saw in Shavers what some people are seeing in him now. They also saw that he had a lot to learn. Finally, they saw a guy who was willing to put in the time, work, and learn. He kept getting better every season. And he kept getting closer to making the roster.

 

I think what we're seeing is McDermott's patience with the guy paying off. 

 

What I really like is that Shavers, Palmer, and Davis present big targets to Josh, and I think Josh is comfortable throwing at those targets. He looked different yesterday. The touchdown to Shavers looked very much like several touchdowns. We saw Josh throw to Davis in earlier seasons.

I was really excited when Shavers caught a pass and had no one within 5 yards of him. He looked like receivers who get open on a majority of teams.

an exceedingly rare treat for the Bills!

Not saying he'll become as good by any means, and I hadn't thought of it myself, but as soon as I read just the title of the thread, I instantly thought, oh yeah, I can totally see that comparison. Something about the way they run, move, catch. Good call OP.

I liked how he played the ball on the touchdown catch. It wasn't a perfect throw but he had his eyes on the ball all the way and got his hands in a really good catching position. It was nicely done. It's the kind of play of professional pass catcher makes. That was encouraging. 

 

Last week someone said his his blocking is always good. It was interesting that on Johnson's touchdown catch, he followed the play all the way down the field and got in the way of the last possible tackler. That was just solid at football, doing your job.

 

And with coach saying, about Shavers, "No job too big or too small" for him...I wonder if that isn't a veiled reference as to why Keon is in the doghouse.

I've seen different reports of shavers running 4.3 & 4.5

 

I also saw he ran 10.41 in the 100 meters. 

 

The eye test tells me he's a legitimate deep threat 

 

Shavers did not attend the NFL Draft combine. So, there are only two official times for him for the 40-yard dash.

At his pro day in college, he ran a 4.59.

When he was recruited out of high school, his official time in the 40-yard dash was 4.38.

 

Interesting that Stallworth had a similar situation with difference in timings. He was dealing with a hip pointer at the Combine and ran a 4.8 second 40-yard dash (in the rain). His only other known timing was by a Pittsburgh scout after his junior year of college, at which time Stallworth clocked a 4.5 second 40-yard dash.

That is true but trust me the Tampa defensive backfield is a mess.

 

Yeah there are A LOT of people impressed with the Bills WR's yesterday but that is probably the worst pass defense they will face this season.   Secondary in disarray and no pass rush to help them.  When Dean went down Tampa was f#cked.

Shavers can 100% be a late bloomer who the light is clicking with Allen

 

He works hard , says the right things... Has size , deceptive speed... Run routes hard , works in scramble drill

 

He was a big prospect down in Texas back in the day ... Started at Alabama 

 

Obviously became more known for his special teams.. but his receiver ability was there... 

 

The adage goes it always takes two to tango... Maybe he finally got his dancing partner

Shavers ran a wind aided 4.38 in high school 

 

Was in the 4.5s pro day.. he does have good long speed

 

He is very similar to Gabe Davis in a lot of ways with perhaps better hands, although Davis has made some spectacular sideline catches during his times here.
